Scope and Contents
Cross reworked dictionary columns "leaving found words precisely where they exist in the columns of Webster's Secondary School Dictionary, 1913 edition. The found words then comprise the statement. Words as objects, textures, movements, spaces, sounds: words supporting words, even as a column is built of mortar and stones." The appearance of Cross' work is reminiscent of Tom Phillips' A Humument. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
